This user keeps vandalizing the Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith page by removing the dialogue between Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. AdamDeanHall (talk) 00:01, 17 February 2017 (UTC)


 * This doesn't qualify as Vandalism in progress. There seem to be an ongoing dispute about a quote, which significantly exceeds Limits on quotations. -- Mdd (talk) 00:11, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Agreed on both points. I also encourage AdamDeanHall to review the Quotability guideline on Length of dialogues. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:52, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Report 25-July-2015
Unregistered user from the July 12 report appears to be up to their old tricks. On further examination, it looks like they're still going with the IP addresses that were reported on the 12th as well.

 * , so far I cannot find a single source of the quotes he added. -- Mdd (talk) 18:15, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid all his addition is a hoax. For example,Frances Cornford. Nor the book nor the publisher the database of the Library of Congress doesn't know. A similar service in Japan, CiNii Books doesn't know them either. Can anyone in the UK ask the same query on an equivalent reliable book catalogue in the UK? --Aphaia (talk) 18:38, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

I tried, and the sources do in fact exist! I have checked to see if they really do exist, and they do. The sources showed up, and I'm a bit confused as to why you did not find them. This is a friendly IP, who hates hoaxes, but this seems legit, folks. This seems to be a case of obscure sources, not vandalism, or a hoaxer. PS, could there be a auto-sign feature for IP addresses, or something? --71.15.213.186 (talk) 18:58, 14 November 2015 (UTC)


 * What do you guys think to ask CU/Steward the underlying IP of the user in question? --Aphaia (talk) 19:08, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

What is going on? Why do you all think I'm a hoaxer or vandal, since I'm neither? If you can explain to me why you think that, I might understand, but as of now, I am confused. Ralph Layton (talk)


 * I reverted Frances Cornford (for reason, see its talk). For Ken Kutaragi cnn.com has no reference in 2009 as claimed neither. Another prausible hoax. --Aphaia (talk) 04:06, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

For its continuous vandalism (prior to its one-hour blocking, which should have been infinite), creating phony user pages with gobbledygook, insulting users on their talk pages (see this link for proof), etc. I request that its block be extended to infinite, lest this continues.

This user vandalized The Empire Strikes Back by reverting back to the 1980 version of the scene between Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. - AdamDeanHall (talk) 15:36, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, it was a 1980 film. I do not believe this is vandalism: the user has shown good faith by including both the original 1980 film and a later reedited DVD version in the article, which you reverted. My own opinion is that I can see no good reason, in an article about the notable 1980 film, to pay any attention to tweaks in re-releases at all. This should be discussed in a civil manner without crying "vandalism". ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:53, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
